This is the first time in history that Luton Town Club has played in the Premier League, after participating in the highest level of English football 31 years ago (at that time it was the English National Championship).
Luton Town FC's joy on historic day of promotion to the Premier League
Luton Town’s promotion was also a miracle, as the Bedfordshire club went from the 5th Division to the 1st in just 9 seasons. Even more strangely, the promotion forced Luton Town to spend at least £10 million to upgrade their 120-year-old Kenilworth Road stadium to Premier League standards.
Luton Town's Kenilworth Road stadium has a capacity of 10,356, making it the smallest stadium in the Premier League. To get into the stadium, fans must climb the stairs of neighboring houses.
According to the British press, Luton Town FC's promotion to the Premier League was like winning the lottery. "The club's 138-year history witnessed an unprecedented miracle when it was promoted to the Premier League and received more than £200 million in three seasons," wrote The Mail on Sunday .

Luton Town is also the third club to be promoted to the Premier League next season after Burnley and Sheffield United (first and second in the Championship). Meanwhile, the Premier League this season will determine the remaining two relegation spots in the final round taking place at 10:30 p.m. tonight, May 28, after Southampton FC has officially been relegated.
